Howard making a voltintary undelie.king, that his client should not bellow any more during'-the trial. This undertaking excited much ittighor the Court. The trial then pro ceeded And the prisoner; , Upon' very.‘ distinct evidence, Was convicted. • CAst - OF ABDUCTION J42l 7 Leetty stood ^capitally indicted for entering the dwelling -house of Catherine Bennett, on the night of the 4th of ,April, and forcibly, carrying her away, with intent to matey het: 'Catherine Bennett sworn, and examined by Mr. Quin. —Witness is a widow; remembers the night of the third of April. Witness was in hed with her only child, when she perceived a, 'party of Mtn surrounding her house, the door of which they were endeavouring to force open : they succeeded after sometime, when several of them entered it. Witness being very much alarmed got out of bed, asking them what they wanted at that hour; one of them answered they had a good husband for her : witness said she wanted no husband ; they then answered her that she must have one, and immediately forced her out of the house, leaving her child in the bed; on her going into the road, the prisoner, who remained all the time outside, placed her behind himself upon a horse on which he was mounted, and carried her to a publican's of the name of M'Namant, ; a distance of live or six miles from her• house, where he kept be luring the night. Prisoner here want ed to prevail upon witness to marry him; she persisted in refusing. As soon as the morning was arrived, the owner of the house in which she had remained during the night,' took. her with him into the public road, when the witness made the beat of her way home: witness is quite 'pOtiithe that it was without her consent she was take.it away. Vbe witness was cross-examined by Mr. Freeman.— She admitted that the prisoner did not offer any violence to her person ; hut nothing material was elicited from her in contradiction of the testimony given on her direct exa mination. James„ *Namara corroborated the circumstance stated by the preseciitrix of her being taken to his house: he stated that the prisoner expressed contrition for what he had .done, on being interrogated by the witness relative to his.,having acted in the manner above-mentioned ; that he gave her up to him, - saying that it: war his misfortune to have taken her away, but that he would have nothing more to do with her, , HisrLordship minutely recapitulated the evidence, and left the case to the decision of the jury, who, after a short absence, returned a verdict of Guilty. After the'usual question being put to the prisoner by the Clerk of the Crown, what he had to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced against him, his Lord. ship proceeded to address him in the following impressive manner John Leeny, you have been found guilty of a very grievous crime against the laws of your country, com mitted at the dead - hour of midnight ; you attacked the house 'of an unoffending and .• helpless female, whom, it 'appears, you had never before- seen, and therefore for whom you could not-possibly , have entertained an affec tion; after tearing her from' her - child, you forcibly carried her off, with the assistance of your companions in guilt. It is a crime of a very serious nature, and to which the law attaches the punishment of death ; the only circumstance whieh can serve in any degree to pal liate your offence,is that of yournot offering violence to her person, and that you afterwards restored her to her house again :-.-these circumstances may serve to make-your case appear less - aggravated, and recommend you. to the mercy of your Sovereign. However, I cannot take upon myself to promise, that mercy will be shown you, and I have now to warn you to prepare yourself for the exeentimi of the' gen tenee witilmh the law- obliges nrie to pronounce against you. If the cirtannstatices of your ease should, upon consideration, not prove sufficiently weighty to justify a • mitigation of that s - entence, you - can have, no reason for entertaining a hope of its being abated ; but if, on the other hand, they . be winsidered sufficient, you may only expect that it will be changed to that of transportation for . life. • Crimes of this nature are becoming very irequent.•• It. is, therefore, necessary to punish them -with. the. severest penalty that the law can inflict ; notwithstanding this, there are, how ever, men who, continue to perseVere in such offences in spite of the punishment awarded,-which is • not merely in tended to punish the guilty, but to prevent others frOm the perpetration of crime,- , and protect the innocent from violence. his right, however, to consider those who show signs of contrition, and if consistently with justice, it can be done,. to avert • the penalty which • their crimes. may have- brought upon them; it is in consequence of this, and upon having expressed your sorrow for the offence, that I will recommend you to the Mercy of your Sovereign, who • under those circumstances may extend it to you. How ever, it. now becomes my duty pass upon - you, the awfid sentence of the law, which is, that you, John Lee-. ny,: be taken. from the 'place where you now stand, to that-from -whence you caine, and from thence to the place of common execution, where you be hanged by the neck until .you are dead.. ",The prisoner retired evidently much affected. • Conic, Atm. 5! :Jeremiah Sullivan, Dennis Mullowney, John English, and Michael Tobin, were put t( the bin' for a burglary in the house of Owen M'Carthy, on the night of the 9th of July last. This case was conducted by order of , the . Attoniey- General, and, excited considerable interest. . . Mary M'Carthy, examined by Mr. Quin. --Witness is the wife of Owen- M'Carthy, of Drumrue. That on the night of the 9th .of July , last, she, her husband, and three young children, were in bed: in their cabin, which consists of:but one. apartment.. The door was broken open, and several men - entered. One man asked who lived there. Her husband answered, " Owen War thy." 'He was` asked were there any sit: tigers in the house. He replied there were not, lie was then, or deered to cover his head. One of the men that en tered the house lighted a candle.- The instant it was lighted, the man Who was pear the bed threw, himself . upon the witness and her husband on the bed, and rolled the bed.dothes round his head.; Ile had a heavy gun in Ins hand, which he laid on her chest.. Witness called out to him, for the honour of God, not to murder herself and her child. . lie then took the gun from off her, and laid it near the bed side, He took a pocket belonging to wit ness, which was lying on the bolster, and took what half pence- were in it. ..ii,e also took a pawn ticket. Her hus band begged of then) not to take the pawn ticket, as he might be able to release -the articles which had been pledged. At the tune the nom that h a d the gun ra i sed it off witness, she removed the clothes from her fact in such a manner as to,enable her to, see the persons distinctly who were in the house, without being in danger of being suspected by them. J. Sullivan was the • Itiftit who had the candle lighted in his band, and who was at thehox, and who took out of it half a- stone of flour, and some bread . , - Ailety.endlivati had searched the- box, he turned round and gave the candle, which he had lighted in his hand to the prisoner-,Dennis Mullowney. Mullowney was the man who came over;her, in the bed, and had the gyn., . When Sullivan gave the candle:- to Mullowney,' he proceeded to another box, and got more flour in a bib, which , to g ether with the other (pian tity of :flour, he put on the table. Mullowney searched Sullivan col the house for milk, but he d i d no t g et any. S leeted the our together, and then calledhlullowney, wile took .1141 in, and they both went out to g ether, carry ing theeand i, e with them. After Su llivan and Mullowney, had tin flie, atise,.,another man came in-and asked what was taken. She replied that,shehad , l ost two-pence, to gether with what , flons she Lad for. her children's break feat. The u v o l . e a id it w ee a had thing to take away the floni.from the children. He latter for some time, and returned again with part of the flour, and the bib. Wit ness begged of him to bring the remainder of the flour ; he said he would if he could. lie went out and called Tor the flour, but one of • the party stood at the door, and said he Would not suffer any thing to be returned. The man that brought her the flour, was the prisoner, John English. There was a fourth man there. Witness thinks and, indeed, is ,sure, in her own mind, that Tobin is the man, but still she will not take upon herself to swear po sitively to him. Here the case for the Crown closed. One witness only was produced to prove an alibi for the prisoner Mullowney. After a short consultation the Jury returned with the following verdict.,:---Jeremiah Sullivan, Guilty; Dennis Mullowney, Guilty ; John English, Guilty ; Michael To bin, Not Guilty. The Jury recommended John English to mercy. The verdict was received and recorded in death-like silence. The Judge proceeded to put on the black cap, and commenced to pronounce the dreadful sentence of the law:—" Prisoners, I have but too much reason to fear that this crime, of which you have been just convicted, has not been the only crime recently committed by you. Ano ther indictment, upon another charge, has been found by the Grand Jury against you." Here his Lordship was interrupted by the prisoners, who, in a clamorous manner, protested their innocence. They charged th e w i tness , ary M'Carthy, with having sworn' sway their lives. "My Lord," said one of them, " she would swear away the lives of all the men in Court for a one-pound note. Is it not a hard thing that, for the per jury of that woman, we are to lose our lives? She has perjured herself against us, for which she will be damned in hell yet." The Learned Judge waited for some time, until order -was restored, and then proceeded—" Prisoners, it would be a dreadful thing, indeed, if any person were so wicked, so abandoned, as to swear away the lives of innocent men. If I thought that Mary M'Carthy had been guilty of per jury, I would lave stated my opinion at an earlier period of the trial. If the Jury thought that she had committed perjury, they never would have returned the verdict which has been recorded against you. They have been satisfied, as I am satisfied, that what was sworn against you was truly sworn. It is useless for you now to protest your innocence; such protestations cannot be believed, and ought not to be made by men in the unhappy and awful situation in which you are placed.,—(Here the prisoners again violently interrupted the Court. "My Lord, we thought that Mr. Steward would -have called our wit nesses; our witnesses have not been examined." Baron Pennefather.— you, Again I tell that those pro testations are useless. You talk of not having had wit nesses: Did I not stop the trial, waiting for your wit nesses ? Did I not repeatedly call for them ? You did not examine if you had them, but thought it more safe to take your chance.—(Here his Lordship was again inter rtipted by the clamours from the dock.) --I have now only to entreat of you, Sullivan and Mullowney, to prepare for death. English. has been recommended to mercy by the Jury, not because they had the slightest doubt of the evi dence against him ; but because he had shown some feeling of humanity, and had brought back part of her food to the wretched,wornan. His life might be. spared; but the other's could expect no mercy. DUBLIN SEBSIONS. STEALING A CH/LD...-AFFECTING CASE. The affection of Irish nurses for their foster children, as they are termed, has been long since recorded as forming a peculiar feature among the other peculiarities of the natives of this country. The present case is strikingly illustrative of this feeling. Catherine Hannan was indicted for maliciously stealing a child from Catherine Philips, one of the nurses employed by the Foundling Hospital. The circumstances that came out in evidence were as follow :—The prisoner : . had „been engaged by the gover•• Tors hf the hospital to wet nut's* the child question, Who was a foundling; she had had the care of it for seven years, when it was taken from her, in July, 1825, and given to another nurse, Catherine Philips, of Duncantown ; after . . the child 'had been there a short time, the prisoner and her husband took a journey of twenty miles to see it. Some months after this, Philips came to town with the child, to get the wages which was due for nursing; the prisoner, who happened to be in town .at,the time, met them in 'Thomas-atreet, and forcibly possessing herself of the child, she made off with it, no doubt considering it. the greatest treasure she could have:acquired. A young man who witnes sed the transaction knew then prisoner, and the place she was Stopping: at; and information being given at the Found ling Hospital, search was made for the prisoner and 'child at the house in Thomas -street, where the former was then esiding. After carefully examining every part of the house without discovering either nurse or child, the party were about to give up the search, when they thought they observed, through the dormant windows, something My* ing on the roof. of the house. Search was accordingly made there, when nurse and child were discovered, the latter with a two-pen»y loaf in his little fist. All the wit nesses for the prosecution admitted the kindness and affec tion which the prisoner displayed towards the child. The Learned Recorder, in charging the Jury, explained the provisions of the Act under which the indictment was framed; and informed them, that should they convict the prisoner of the offence with which she was charged, the judgment of the Court would be very light. It was quite evident, and given' in evidence by the prosecutors them selves, that no malicious motive could be attributed to the prisoner, but that she had acted from the feelings of a kind and affectionate heart. The Jury, after consulting for some time, returned verdict of acquittal. Thomas Thurtell, a brother of John Thurtell, who murdered Mr. William Weare, at Elstree, in Hert fordshire, in the year 1824, was on Saturday diScharged froni Newgate. It' will be recollected that he was ap prehended with John Thurtell, William Probert, and Hunt, and was examined at Hertford and Eistree, but there appearing no evidence to implicate him in the horrid deed, he was discharged, and brought to Lon don on a charge of having ' set his 'house on fire in Watling-street, and conspired with Snowden and others to defraud the County tire Office of 1,6001. He was convicted in the Court of King's Bench of the con spiracy, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in Newgate, which term expired on Saturday.

NEW METHOD OF OBTAINING A' SUIT OE CLOTHES.—On Sunday morning last, an unfortunate wight, who h a d b een indulging himself too much in hpintuous liquors, laid himself down in the King Park, behind Holyrood-house, and soon fell fast asleep, A tatterdemalion Irishman' whose clothes " streamed like a meteor to the troubled air," was passing at the tittle, and espying the helpless state of the man , an d the good condition of his dress, thought such au op portunity (if equipping himself not to be neglected. He very deliberatel therefore, began to strip him of every article of aPparel, which he as deliberately transferred to his own person, and was marching out of the park in a very different plight from that in which he entered it, when some persons, who had observed the transaction came up, made Pat surrender his finery, and after giving him a sound drubbing, allowed him to depart.—The Scotsman. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Sunday, Aug. 6.) BITCHAREST, July Is.—Theßussian courier, who should bring the news from - Constantinople of the 7th, has not yet arrived: The Turkish Commissioners to the Congress at Aker. ! mains, who passed through this city without stopping, has been received with much solemnity at Jassy. It is said, but without warranting the fact, that the Russian Consul, lately arrived in that city, went out to meet them. (From the Pilate.) PARIS, AUG. 4.—The letters from Jassy say, that the Russian negociators,, before,their arrival at Akarnania, had several conferenees with , General Sabanif and General Kischeneff, the head-quarters of the Russian army in Bes sarabia. The advanced posts of tins army, which were placed towards the extreme frontier, have fallen back, and it is said they will remain where they now are during the whole of the negociations. (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS, Aug. s.—This morning was publi s hed the opinion (consultation) of M. Dupin on the denunciation addressed to the Courßoyale,by the Count de Montlosier,wi th this motto from Livy : Numgwint tanlum malum in republieti nec ad plures nec ad plura pertinens. This opinion is signed by Messrs. Delacroix-Frainville, Berryer, senior, Laird, Persil, Coffinieres, Parquin ' Chignard, Daquevau villers, Fritot, Merilhou, Rigal, Mollot, Quenault, La van; Barthe, Dupin, jun., Target, Boudousquie, 'frond lebert, Roussel, Delangle, Vismet, Devevres, V.

These signatures were collected in:eight and forty hours. Those which came later will be given hi a supplement. — Messrs. Berville and Renouard have given their entire concurrence to -the answers expressed in this opinion.— To-morrow it is our intention to present acomplete analy sis of it. For the present we call-attention to its con clusions We are of opinion, then, that the denunciation of M. de Montlosier, and the process to be instituted, in conse quence, should be chiefly concentrated on the two first charges. Reduced to this point, viz. the carrying into ex ecution of the Laws against the institution of the Jesuits, and the Congregations, the denunciation of M. de Mont 'osier will then be an immense service rendered to the Prince, and to the country; such a result is sufficient for the public peace. In the first t#o or three days after publication, more than 5,000 copies of M. De 14Iontlosier's denunciation were sold. It is reported that the Cour Royale will meet next week, with all its branches assembled, in order to decide on the Count De Montlosier's accusation against the Jesuits. We perceive in the Journal, placed more particularly indertheinfluenee of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the following : " We are informed that a French garrison of .5,000 men is about to occupy the fortress of Badajoz; one of the two Swiss regime - Tits at Madrid is to forma part of that garrison, and it will be replaced here by two French regiments, one of which , is to be cavalry." This intelligence seems to confirm the report which has been for some time spread, that the Baron De Damao would have proposed to form a "cordon sanitaire" of French troops on the frontiers of Spain and Portugal. This proposition, the political and financial consequences of which are incalculable, does not appear to have ob. tamed the assent of the majority of the Council. ITALY.

PORTUGAL. Copy of a letter 'which her Royal „Ffighness the In• Tanta Donna Isabella 'Maria wrote to her august brother, the Infant Doti Miguel, in reply: to that which he addressed to her on the 14th of June:— "My dear Brother,-1 received 'in Caldas da Reinha your most esteemed letter of' the 14th of June, which pleased me much, by the sentiments which you express regarding me, and which I certainly ought to feel. lam exceedingly pleased that my beloved brother approves of the determination which I took to publish, as soon as I received it, your esteemed letter of the 6th of April. This measure produced in the public the agreeable effect which I anti cipated. My principal object is, and always shall be, to destroy intrigues, to unite our family, and to turn its af fections more every day towards a nation. endued with the first qualities by which it has been. distinguished in all ages of the monarchy, and which, in. these latter times, some men, as ambitious as they were perverse, succeeded in overturning and destroying. But I hope and my hope, will not be disappointed, in the God of Henry, who so visibly has delivered these kingdoms from greater and more horrible calamities, that he will confound imposture, impiety, and crime, and that Por tugal is about to return to its ancient ages of glory. principally exert myself to put in,practice, and in vigorous execution, the wise determinations of our brother and le gitimate King, Don Pedro IV., Emperor of Brazil—deter minations which have merited the applause and general approbation of the kingdom, and which only have been displeasing to those who calculated upon the continuance of the inveterate abuses which pressed upon unhappy Por tugal, and which afflicted the paternal heart of our august and lamented father, without his ever being able to. mus ter resolution of cutting them and destroying them. , . " .Perhips, my dear brother, some one has written you in a different sense from that in which I now address you. I beseech you not to lend credit, in this respect, to any thing but what 1 write you, and which you will find to be the truth, and that so far from lending faith to those who live only by confusion, who desire disorder, and who breathe only vengeance, carnage, and timid, my brother will agree to plant and support among us the institutions which emanate from the throne=--institutions for which the nation sighs—institutions such as those which can alone rescue us from the abyss into which we have been thrown, the fatal surrender of our ancient constitutional laws, of our laudable uses and customs. This the honour of my beloved brother imperiously demands; his good.name, his glory, as well as his interests, are involved in it. I received his full power to administer his household,as well as sufficient authority to proceed to the division of the property which accrued to us by the death of our au gust father-in-law, of all which I shall render an account. I am very sensible of the confidence which my brother has reposed in me, by requesting that I should provi sionally continue to minister by myself alone to the family interests which have hitherto been administered by the Government. But shall I have sufficient force to fulfil worthily the hono ura bl e con f i dence which my b e l ove d and his expectati ons and in the cas e t h at I brother places in me ? know riot ; but this I know, th at tlhe reliancee xertshallw allb which hehas powerson mento answer shall not be able to continue, I shall take care to apprise my brother in time of my inability, that he may make the necessary provisions for supplying my defects. My beloved brother, in the mean time, will not doubt o f my zeal, or, of the lively interest which I have in obey ing and serving him. My brother may be assured that I did not recommend tohirn the Visconde da' Villanova da Reinha; I told him only - what he appeared to me to be; but by the accounts and maps which he is to place in his hands, my brother will know of what he i s capable. I beseech God, my dor brother, to preserve you many years. Your loving sister cordially prefers this prayer. Palace of Ajuda, July 12. ISABEL. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1826. The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Etoik dated Sunday morning, reached us last night. Extracts from them will be found in another column. The ac quittal by the Court of Peers of all the parties accused of being implicated in the affair of M. OUVRARD, gives rise to many observations in these Journals, but we are heartily tired of this subject, and hope that it will now be consigned to the " Ton►l) of all the Ca- pulets." The Etoile contradicts the statements made by one of the other Papers that the French Ambassador's house at Lisbon had been attacked, and the French Agent had been dismissed from Mexico. In reference to the latter report, the Etoile repeats the explanation before given of the relations subsisting between France and Mexico, with respect to their Agents, which pro. ceeds on the quibble that the Mexican Agent in Paris is only appointed by the Mexican Minister in London, and the French Agent. in Mexico, by the Admiral commanding the French squadron on the coast of America. The conduct of the Jesuits occasions considerable discussions in the French Papers. The public begin ,to express their alarm and detestation of the principles and proceedings of this sect : a pamphlet, entitled the Denunciation of these Fathers, has had an immense sale ; and an opinion, signed by M. DUPIN and the most distinguished Members of the Paris Bar, recom mends that an application should be immediately made to the tribunals to cause the Laws against the Institu tions of the Jesuits and the Congregations to be car ried into execution. The news from Portugal in these Papers is of an old date compared with the aceounts received direct from thence yesterday : but the Journal des Dehats recurs to the old story , of a " Cordon Sanitaire" of French troops on the frontiers of Spain and Portugal.

We have nothing to add to the accounts which we published yesterday from Lisbon, with the exception of the letter which the Infanta REGENT has addressed to her brother the Infant DON IVIIGuEL. This letter will be found in another column, and is creditable to the sense and spirit of the Royal writer. In looking over the Madras Papers (the principal contents of which were given in our Paper of yester day) we find that it had been ascertained that no public dispatches had been received from Sir A. CAMPBELL at Calcutta up to the 27th February. He commenced his march towards the capital of Ava on the. 27th January, and this long period having elapsed since any accounts had been received of the army at Calcutta or Madras, probably gave rise to the rumours of its defeat contained in some of the private letters. Towards Munipoor some military operations were carrying on, but not on a scale of great importance. The Rajah GUMBIIEER SING, who is placed by the late arrangement under the protection of the British, was assisted by a small force under Captain GRANT and Lieutenant PEMBERTON. The Burmese, it is said, have been compelled to re-cross the Ningti, after an ineffectual, though brave, attempt to retain posses sion of a stockade, in which they were found in- trenched. They were followed to the right bank of the river by a detachment of 3 0 0 men, which was ordered to be reinforced by a body of 500 . The re mainder of Lieutenant PEMBERTON'S levy was to proceed into the enemy's country, and kts it was sup posed that from the Ningti to Ummerapoora no dif.. ficulties presented themselves to the advance of an army, it was considered as by no means impossible that the divisions from Munipo or s h ou ld reach the Burmese c apital before Sit A.
